COUNTRY LEDGESTONE OUTSIDE CORNER
Step 1
Metal Starter Strip - Determine at what height above grade level you want
the panel to sit on. Measure up 2 ¾" from this point and strike a level line.
Aach the top of the starter strip on this line. End the strip 2" from each side
of the corner. (Fig. 1)
Step 2
Set the Ledgestone outside corner piece against the
corner and down against the starter strip. Use the screw
guides and place at least 3 screws along the tongue.
(Fig. 2)
Place 2 screws in the right lap side of the panel where
indicated. (Fig. 3)
When making mulple courses, alternate the corners
le and right to give proper oset and stagger to joints.
(Fig. 4)
Step 3
Aach the panels working out from each side of the
corner as previously described. (Fig. 5)
Note: There are 4 paerns of the Ledgestone Outside Corner. 2 Le paerns and 2 right paerns.
Check for numbers on the backside of the piece. They are numbered 1 through 4. Alternate le and
COUNTRY LEDGESTONE CORNER INSTALLATION
All products must be allowed to acclimate; removed from boxes and stored at at the
installaon site for a minimum of 48 hours or unl properly acclimated prior to
installaon. Heat and moisture cause expansion. Best results are obtained by installing
cool, dry product. NextStone does not warrant against gapping caused by expansion
and contracon.
Manufacturer does not warrant against gapping caused by
expansion and contracon.

COLUMN WRAP INSTALL
COUNTRY LEDGESTONE COLUMN WRAP
1) Fir out the desired column to 13 ¾" x 13 ¾".
2) Starter Strip- Determine the height above ground the boom of the column
should be. Measure up 2 ¾" from this point and strike a level line. Aach the
top of the starter strip on this line. Level and aach starter strip on each face,
stopping 2" from each corner. (Fig. 6)
3) Each box contains 2 le (L-2,L-4)and 2 right corners(R-1, R-3). 2 boxes are
needed per 2 courses. Use 4 right pieces for 1 course and 4 le pieces for the
next course. Dry t corners R-1, R-3 and R-1, R-3. Slide down onto the starter
strip and aach all pieces where indicated on the screw hem. (Fig. 7)
4) Aaching the Corners- There are 3 screw points on the long side of the corner, and 2
on the shorter end. Make sure to use 5 screws per corner. Hold the boom edge of corner
snug against the substrate while placing the screws to prevent over ghtening of the
screw hem. This prevents the boom edge from kicking out. (Fig. 8)
5) Dry t corners L-2, L-4 and L-2, L-4. Slide down and aach as described above.
6) For the next course, use corners R-3, R-1 and R-3, R-1 to prevent paern repeon.
Finally use corners L-4, L-2 and L-4, L-2 for the 4th row. Connue to alternate as needed
unl the desired height is achieved. (Fig. 9)
Note to Installer: Do not over ghten the screws when aaching the corner pieces.
When over ghtened, the corner piece will “kick out” at the boom and create a gap. If
the gap is present, pull the corners together to minimize the gap, then face screw through
the female tongue, through the male base plate, and into the substrate. Use a 3" deck
screw for this purpose. (Fig. 10) Use caulk to ll screw head and
touch up paint for a professional nish.
The 18" Post Cap is designed to t over the LedgeStone Column if
the top course of corners ends with the screw hems aached or
with the screw hems removed.
Screw Aachment: Drive one screw per side through the boom
lip of the cap all the way into the substrate. Be Careful to angle the
Screws so they don’t run through the top of the cap. Do not overdrive
screws.
